This is fantastic - I am not a trained trainer per se but would be happy to help in a volunteer capacity. Jon Davies (WMUK) (talk) 15:14, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Jon! You're on my list. :-) I would suggest you make sure you're available for the final day, if you can, but we should probably discuss your availability closer to the event dates, or at least as soon as we have a clear picture of what's happening exactly when and who else is involved. --Toni Sant (WMUK) (talk) 15:25, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Apologies

  • Apologies, but as all of these events take place during the working week I can't help. Please let me know if you organise anything around this at the weekends. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:50, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Conflict of interest?

Hi Toni/all. As the focus of this project is based on UCL, how are you planning on avoiding the risks of conflicts of interest arising where UCL staff/students write about the organisation that they're affiliated with? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:54, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

The short answer is delicately and appropriately, following long-established Wikipedia guidelines/policies. However, if you have any specific suggestions, I'd be very glad to take them on board, particularly since you have lots of experience with this sort of thing, Mike. In early January, we'll be putting together a list of possible pages to create/edit during this week of events, so that may be an excellent opportunity for you to chip in directly, if though you're unable to be physically present during the sessions themselves. Specific recommendations from other experienced trainers are also very welcome, especially after the Christmas holidays. Thanks. --Toni Sant (WMUK) (talk) 09:45, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
